      Designing a shoe is pretty much the same as designing a data center, so that’s a solid pivot.

      Back in my day if you wanted your stock to explode overnight you just slipped the word „blockchain“ into your latest earnings report.

      From sustainable footwear to AI infrastructure… that’s not a pivot, that’s a full character reset.

      Failed shoe startup announces pivot to AI infrastructure and their stock quadruples instantly? Very normal and cool.

      Buying compute resources and leasing them, wow what a unique and groundbreaking business model!

      The wall street geniuses are blown away and can’t pass up this opportunity.

      Data center will be powered by pretentious upper middle class people running on treadmills

      Anyone else love that our entire global economy is completely reliant on a bubble? This shit rocks tbh

      AI my ass.

      They’re going to give up all of their customer data.

      That should be pretty juicy considering the kind of people who bought their shoes.

      Allbirds made some really nice shoes that were completely recyclable. That was a wonderful product. Now they’re doing AI. Which wastes resources.

      >The Company will initially seek to acquire high-performance, low-latency AI compute hardware…

      Famously easy and cheap to get right now.

      And more money was wasted on bullshitAI. Hey just found the name for my website.

      This is reminiscent of the late 90s in which companies simply added „.com“ to their business name and saw their stock price shoot up speculatively.

      I thought Sora bombing would mean that investors would be cautious about AI and the bubble would begin to burst.

      Guess fucking not.. at least the first part. It will still burst.

      In other news I am now pivoting from being a loser to being and AI loser. Please pay me.

      What’s even more nuts is that Allbirds has always touted how environmentally friendly their shoes are. Now they’re going to be in one of the least environmentally friendly industries.

      Nothing highlights that AI is all bubble than this.

      Investors are stupid.

      The market needs better regulation.

    34. IceBearKnows89 on

      It’s a giant bubble.

      I’m in Oregon and a medium sized distillery here just did this.

      Yup, pivoted directly from distilled spirits to crypto and AI. They still have the same employees. I swung by before they closed and the employees had no idea what their jobs were anymore. They were brewers, who now worked for a crypto/AI company?

      Website is all nonsense and buzzwords. I get that it feels like the future/get rich quick scheme. The vast majority of these ventures are going to fail and fail hard.

      Everyone can’t get into AI, there has to be some other parts of the economy left.

      A bunch of shoe designers just sitting there at an empty Claude Code terminal.

      if anyone is wondering, the reason a company like this would do this is it was always a pyramid scheme stock that had leadership with larger (shadier) aspirations. they used the shoe company as an onramp into the stock market via ipo, then they pivot to a burgeoning tech that would have required more scrutiny for them to ipo under that model. its similar to how spac’s weasel companies onto the exchange

      “The Company will initially seek to acquire high-performance, low-latency AI compute hardware and provide access under long-term lease arrangements, meeting customer demand that spot markets and hyperscalers are unable to reliably service,” the company said in the announcement.

      Good luck with that.

      Fun fact: watch it just be a shoe deal with Allen Iverson.

      Stock crashes tomorrow.
